Sum of snail abundance over time per type of rater [Snail icons created with BioRender.com] (A). Mean snail abundance per site type and type of rater (limit of y-axis has been set to 120) (B). For those instances where paired reports are available for more than 40 sites, we consider the agreement in the top 15 locations in terms of abundance.
